    If any of you have been keeping up with recruiting on rivals, then you've noticed that Bama jumped from a 22 ranking to 13. I've been told that Bama recently picked up a player that wasn't even ranked at his position and magically he became a four star after the pick-up. I've also been told that the owners of Rivals.com are Bama fans. Would they really increase the stars of a player just to boost Bama up in the recruiting rankings? Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

    - Rankings get approved by a board of national people

    - Not ranked means they havnt been evaluated

    - Their is a bias with every big school.

    All I know is that if Bama has a top 10 recruiting class this year, they will be severely disappointed with their 7-5 record at the end of the season. Then let the Saban hate begin.

    It kills me how many Bama threads you guys throw up and talk about Saban....Anyhow, Bama will have a new offense and the same great defense. There will be no 7-5 season. 9-3 is more like it. Two more years and we will be a BCS team.

    We're getting better recruits and lots of them are coming to visit....Seems to me that the purple and gold may be a little "scared" of whats to come...:)

    And you waste time reading those threads....

    The difference is our recruits came to visit and will be coming back to register in OUR school.

    BTW, I think many of us purple and gold will spend the summer looking for new boots. I'd like to be wearing new leather when I shake in them ....

    No 7-5 is about right just look at saban's track record here at LSU and that was with insane talent. Saban is a good coach but I remember when UAB beat us. Just telling you dont be upset when you guys go 7-5 maybe even 6-6 and another trip to the indy bowl.

    That is exactly why I think Tide fans will be upset at the end of the season. People had high expectations for Miles his first year because he had the talent 2 years off a NC. Saban is now a year off a 6-7 year. Expecting a 9-win season is going to be frustrating. Don't be shocked when either Ole Miss or MSU knocks you guys off.
